Mbd3 | Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3; Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Does not bind DNA by itself. Binds to DNA with a preference for sites containing methylated CpG dinucleotides (in vitro). Binds to a lesser degree DNA containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (By similarity). Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. (285 aa) | ||||
Dusp7 | Dual specificity protein phosphatase 7; Dual specificity protein phosphatase. Shows high activity towards MAPK1/ERK2 (By similarity). Also has lower activity towards MAPK14 and MAPK8 (By similarity). In arrested oocytes, plays a role in meiotic resumption. Promotes nuclear envelope breakdown and activation of the CDK1/Cyclin-B complex in oocytes, probably by dephosphorylating and inactivating the conventional protein kinase C (cPKC) isozyme PRKCB. May also inactivate PRKCA and/or PRKCG. Also important in oocytes for normal chromosome alignment on the metaphase plate and progression to [...] (422 aa) |
